RH9?  Mind if i ask why you're using such an old & unsupported distro?

At any rate, if you want to do cvs over ssh, then the setup is actually
quite simple.  You need to have sshd running, and you need to have
accounts setup for each of the users (either in /etc/passwd, or via some
other auth method as defined in /etc/nsswitch.conf).  Then its just a
matter of doing a 'cvs init' for your repository(s), and you're ready to
go.  Set user/group permissions & ownership as desired for each
repository.
